The ACLU is right to protect his freedom to be one.

There's a limit to every right, and that includes free speech and religion. Protesting at a funeral is more than just a little over the line.

That's the crux of it, for me. If this was about protecting these scum's right to protest in public, I would support it. But, a funeral is IMO a private affair (unless its a state funeral) and the family IMO has a right to privacy if they desire. That should include them being able to exclude whoever they want.

I don't think they're protesting from private land. If so, the owner can exclude all he wants.

As I said in a previous thread, the ACLU picks the cases they represent VERY carefully.  They occasionally pick a cause such as this because it covers both sides of the political spectrum...anti-war protestors...whom they sympathize with...and criticism of gays and lesbians, which is a sop thrown to "far right" conservatives.

It's also a high profile case.

They're so damn transparent it's laughable.

The specific thing that the ALCU is trying to protect might not be such a good choice, but I appreciate that they are protecting our freedoms.

In fact, I bet the parents/family of the dead soldier feel pretty bad.  First, they are very sad that their son is dead.  Secondly, they might be questioning why he had to die.  But then to have a group at the funeral showing their hate for you and your dead son, thats the icing on the cake.

The ACLU does not protect freedoms, it protects it's agenda.  It's agenda should, by now, be trasparent as can be by looking at the high profile cases they take and don't take.

This "phelps" group is dispicable.

You do realize who foots the bill when these communists decide to "protect" someone's civil rights?
